The DOJ crosses more boundaries by sending out a LGBT, directive to managers on how to handle employees "coming out of the closet" at the office. They say the use of "husband" and "wife" is hateful to homosexuals in the office. In the pamphlet it says silence is no longer an option and They overtly step on the first amendment rights of all straight employees. Since the DOJ is so hot and heavy to make sure everyone feels included, they should have a DOJ Whistleblowers and Truthseeker Pride Directive.US GOVERNMENT ORDERS:IT'S NO LONGER "MOTHER" AND "FATHER", IT'S NOW "PARENT 1" AND "PARENT 2"

The alt media has done a remarkable job of raising awareness of the Bilderberg meetings in the last few years. Now, as this year's conference gets set to kick off in Waterford, UK, this year's protest is shaping up to be the largest one yet. But as hopeful as this growing Bilderberg awareness is, there is always the question: what other meetings, conferences and groups are flying under the radar while the alt media is fixated on the Bilderbergers? Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we explore what lies beyond Bilderberg.

God spoke unto us saying, 'Go to the hill-country and all the places nigh thereunto... in the Arabah, the hill-country and in the Lowland... in the South and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates...Go in therefore and possess the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, unto them and to their seed after them... Deuteronomy 1:6--8

It looks like President Obama will nominate James Comey to lead the FBI. Comey served as Deputy Attorney General in the Bush Administration. Though hailed by both Republicans and Democrats for refusing to reauthorize the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program, civil rights activists are voicing concern over Comey's record when it comes to torture and indefinite detention. RT Correspondent Liz Wahl reports.

News from Capitol Hill indicates that Congress is ready to put the first limits in more than a decade on the Authorization for Use of Military Force. In 2009, the Obama Administration expanded the definition of the AUMF to include not just al-Qaeda, but "associated forces" as well. Congress may take up this issue in the new National Defense Authorization Act, requiring the President to provide more information on what exactly "associated forces" really are. RT Political Commentator Sam Sacks explains.

He became a national hero after a video of him recounting how he put down his Big Mac to help the women went viral. Then, entrepreneurs swooped in to capitalize on his sudden new-found, fame, but Ramsey had other plans. The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) takes a look at America's tradition of commercializing tragic events.

Ibragim Todashev, who was being questioned for his friendship with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed by FBI agents after lunging at them with a knife-- but is that really what happened? Conflicting stories are coming out now, throwing that story into question. How and why was Todashev killed? cenk Uygur breaks it down.

"John Kiriakou, the former CIA agent who revealed details of the US government's use of waterboarding against senior al-Qaida suspects, has written an open letter describing his time in federal prison surrounded by drug dealers, fraudsters and child molesters."*

Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou who exposed the CIA's torture program is now being punished for whistle-blowing in prison. He's written a letter about how he's surviving lock-up...is it working? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Why Bradley Manning's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; the duty to disobey orders; chilling charge 'terrorism by association'; and the first country in the world to make transparency, not secrecy, the rule.

Alex talks with Andrea Lalama, the mother of two autistic children who had photos of her kids holding up anti-GMO signs at the Monsanto march yanked by Facebook. Ms. Lalama will be in-studio today. She is the founder of the Reversing Autism Foundation. When Facebook suspended the account of a mom of two autistic children who held anti-GMO signs at the recent rally, it became national news. Drudge Report linked to our Natural News story which documented Facebook censoring multiple accounts for sharing a photo Facebook absurdly called "abusive."

That photo, it turns out, was nothing more than a picture of two children holding up hand-made signs at the March Against Monsanto. One of the signs read, "Biopesticides = Autism, Say No to GMO" and the other sign read, "Organic Food It's My Medicine, Label GMOs"

Angry crowds have occupied the EU's main financial institutions in Frankfurt to protest against their handling of the crisis. The demonstration is expected to draw thousands throughout the day with people accusing the European Central Bank and others for the painful austerity measures which have caused misery across the continent. RT's Peter Oliver reports.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert observe that spankings are trading at an all time high in London while on international markets, the enduring love for gold sees record volumes of physical metal trading hands. In the second half, Max talks to Mitch Feierstein, author of Planet Ponzi, about VIX volumes surging as old dummies are replaced with new dummies in the global central bank operated ponzi scheme. They discuss the optimism bias that provides a ripe environment into which UK chancellor, George Osborne, can introduce the biggest ponzi of them all with his "Help to Buy" scheme.

Ibragim Todashev was shot six times last week by FBI agents after being questioned about his relationship with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the late suspected Boston Marathon bomber. Todashev was reportedly unarmed at the time of his death, and his father says federal investigators shot him in the head — and has the photos to prove it. RT's Martina Portnaya offers updates on the case from New York.

A genetically modified strain of wheat that was never approved by the United States Department of Agriculture as been discovered growing in Oregon, triggering a federal probe that is now spanning several states. The GMO wheat was made by biotech company Monsanto and was tested in parts of the US until 2006, at which point Monsanto stopped pursuing the USDA's approval. Investigators are now trying to figure out why the pesticide-resistant crop was still growing years later, and it couldn't come at a worst time for Monsanto. Backlash against the company continues to grow, and over the weekend millions of people around the world participated in anti-Monsanto demonstrations. Meanwhile, a so-called "ag-gag" law being proposed in North Carolina would make it illegal to expose any wrongdoings committed by Monsanto and other agriculture companies.

Etienne Syldor of Orlando, Florida was never late with paying his mortgage and even sent his bank more money than he owed every month. That's why he's outraged that Wells Fargo has informed him that they're foreclosing on his home. Syldor, a Haitian immigrant who works as a bus driver at Disney World to make pay his mortgage every month, has hired attorney LaMya Henry to fight the foreclosure. Henry joins RT's Meghan Lopez to explain more about the case and how her client is risking his house, all because he was too punctual with his mortgage payments.

A high ranking member of the Taliban was killed in Pakistan this week by a US drone strike only days after President Obama announced a shift in the country's counterterrorism operations. Wali ur-Rehman was among those killed and his death is being lauded as a blow to the Taliban. But what does the event say about Obama's remarks regarding the drone program? Marcy Wheeler of EmptyWheel.net joins Meghan Lopez to discuss what this means for Obama's promise of respecting state sovereignty and his proposed changes in the war against terror.

It is said that when you lie often, sooner or later you will be caught in your own web of deceit. That may have just happened with Attorney General Eric Holder.

Last week Holder appeared before the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee to provide testimony regarding the Justice Department's potentially improper confiscation of the phone records of 20 Associated Press reporters and editors.

Holder, in response to questioning by Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said of his involvement with prosecuting the press that he had no involvement.

However, on May 23 NBC News, in a breaking story, reported that Holder personally signed off on the secret monitoring of Fox News Reporter James Rosen., who has been charged by the Justice Department as a "co-conspirator" in an espionage case in which he was attempting to obtain information from a source.

Holder, during testimony, said:

First of all you've got a long way to go to try to prosecute the press for publication of material. This has not fared well in American history... In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I've ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy. Really?

One of President Obama's half-brothers is selling two notes that he received from his famous sibling and selling them for $15,000 each. The two notes are both written on White House letterhead and feature the same message though they are addressed to two different groups of people. 'Thanks for your prayers and support,' the letters read, signing off with his initials 'B.O.'

Pleading the Fifth:

The best known clause in the Fifth Amendment ("No person ... shall be compelled in a criminal case to be a witness against himself") protects suspects from forced self-incrimination.

When a suspect invokes his or her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, this is referred to in the vernacular as "pleading the Fifth."

It should not by any means be taken as a sign of guilt, but it is generally portrayed as such in courtroom television dramas.

High school teacher John Dryden from Illinois faces disciplinary action from his school district for informing kids they had the right to not answer questions on a school survey. The questions were about the kids' tobacco, drug, and alcohol use, and answering them might have incriminated the kids. The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) discusses the story.

US Government to hire 40,000 hackers in order to attack its "enemies" (VIDEO)

Cyber tension flares between the US and China, as president Obama gets set to confront Chinese leader Xi Jingping over hacker attacks on American military networks. Meanwhile, reports say Washington's launched massive preparations for an all out cyber war.

In another sign cyber warfare has stepped from the pages of science fiction - NATO recently released a manual on the international law applicable to digital warfare.

Syria has received its first batch of Russian anti-aircraft missiles - that's what President Assad told a Hezbollah television network. The statement's adding fuel to the tensions over the S-300 air defence system, with the U.S. slamming Russia's actions and Israel signaling it would prevent it from becoming operational. RT's Paula Slier is following international escalation over Syria - READ MOREhttp://on.rt.com/uf52du

It is weird that the Vatican is correcting the Pope. Isn't the Pope infallible? Doesn't he talk to God? (VIDEO)

"A Vatican spokesperson is walking back remarks Pope Francis made last week suggesting that atheists and people of other faiths who do good deeds are also redeemed "with the blood of Christ," a statement that seemed to contradict Catholic teaching that "outside the church there is no salvation."*

Pope Francis last week made an incredible statement, implying that even atheists have a chance at going to heaven. Well, now the Vatican is backpedaling and saying its not true and the Pope doesn't have the authority to say that. Wait, then why does he have that job? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

"Television preacher and one-time Republican presidential candidate Pat Robertson warned on his "700 Club" show Tuesday that he's inclined to run a "full-scale exposé" on a web publication that he refused to identify, calling them a "nasty group" that focuses on "embarrassing conservatives" who appear on television."*

Pat Robertson is upset with progressive Right Wing Watch (or Media Matters) for pointing out all the horrible things he himself says on television. The nerve. Robertson is even threatening a full-scale expose! Which of his words were "twisted?" Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

"Representative Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota Republican whose status as a leading Tea Party voice in Congress has faded in the wake of a failed bid for president and a widening investigation into her campaign spending, said Wednesday that she would not seek re-election."*

Michelle Bachman is only a few months into her term as a congressional representative in Minnesota, so obviously she's choosing now t say she won't seek reelection in 2014. Now what great reasons could she have for that? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

What did the: "Friend" of Boston bombing suspect know that he had to be killed by the FBI? (VIDEO)

Ibragim Todashev, who was killed during an FBI interview last week, was unarmed when he was fatally shot, according to law enforcement officials. Civil rights activists are now calling for independent investigation of the death - READ MOREhttp://on.rt.com/vfpdkw

"So Michele Bachmann isn't running for Congress again. Of couse, it has nothing to do with the ethics investigation into her 2012 presidential bid!

It's easy to make fun of her, and I'm certainly not above that. Any member of Congress who calls for an investigation into the loyalty and American-ness of her colleagues, as Bachmann famously did on Hardball in 2008, deserves a mountain of ridicule."*

Michelle Bahmann announced she's not seeking reelection in 2014, much earlier than she ever should have. And with that, we present an ode to Michelle Bachmann, "celebrating" her "best" moments. Cenk Uygur presents that, and a video for Marcus Bahmann too!

The Justice Department is facing a firestorm of controversy for snooping on journalists. Now the media and members of Congress are demanding answers from Attorney General Eric Holder. Though Holder denied having any knowledge of the DOJ prosecuting press, it has been revealed that he personally signed off on a search warrant for a Fox News reporter. RT Correspondent Liz Wahl reports on the fallout after yet another government spying scandal.

Retail giant Walmart will pay $100 million for violating environmental regulations after pleading guilty to disposing fertilizer, pesticide and bleach in sewage systems across the country. After nearly a decade of litigation, and dozens of prosecutors and environmental groups weighing in, the long-standing debate over Walmart's past antics finally came to a close recently in a San Francisco courthouse. But will this change things for retailers and current regulations, or will Walmart walk away without being affected? RT's Meghan Lopez discusses with producers Rachel Kurzius and Bob English.
